Nanchang Xiangtang Airbase
28°23'N 115°50'E

This airfield, which is located well to the south of the city of Nanchang, is almost certainly a military airbase, since other civil operations are probably conducted from the primary dual-use Nanchang airfield.

Photographic Evaluation Report

High resolution imagery is available from three sources, including declassified CORONA imagery. Commercially available Russian 2-meter resolution KVR-1000 imagery is available via the SPIN-2 service on TerraServer. As of 01 May 2000 archival Space Imaging IKONOS 1-meter imagery available on the CARTERRA™ Archive includes 9 scenes of the Nanchang area, acquired between 14 February 2000 and 04 April 2000. All of these scenes, however, have heavy cloud cover well in excess of the standard 20% threshold.
